I dont believe that for one word. Unless you have had a bad experience with one or a group of them. Maybe you are judging it on one or two experiences but thats like saying all men are cheaters.. c'mon!! |

When it was necessary for any of our rigs to engage the services of a professional scaffold teams it usually entailed drawing battle-lines between what we expected from them and what they were prepared to do .....  |

No you don't need to lie. Most men would buy what you're selling if you show the cleavage in your profile pictures and give them a smile. |

Woah.. Calm down! Is it not possible the OP has had a bad experience and looking for answers and not abuse? Going big guns at people for giving their opinions only make you look sour |

Never had a problem with them ,I'm a roofer and so met a few over the years..to be fair they do a dangerous job which is quite an adrenaline rush ...maybe you've met a bad one but there's good and bad in all trades believe |

I once met Richard Dunn who by all measure seemed a decent enough bloke..... and if he'd shown himself to be anything other I would've probably just stayed schtum |

Not from my side I call them they come out and meet me, we discuss whats intended and being built.
How many tiers is being built if its being fastened to the wall or not
Ive had one young un saying it couldnt be built the way I wanted it built.
His mates pulled him to one side and told him to shut up, knowing that ive had 4 loads of scaffolding built by them.
oh and being 4 floors high and only 2 wall pins in the wall, as the wall needed pointing done.
is kinda fun when it rocks and moves a little.
safe but gives some people the shakes though ive seen some go green 2 floors up.  |

I've met crazy ones and nice ones.
As for it being a job for halfwits it's not. There's a lot goes into it, think of all the Health & Safety stuff they have to know.
And it's really hard physical work too. |

Im not saying that, thats the stupidest thing ove ever heard of.
The point im making is that you made a sweeping judgement based on 1 or 2 people you have met and well as you saw your opinion was very poorly received and it made you look stupid and ignorant
As i said
Tell me what you do and lets see the sweeping generlisations i can make about your charactor and personality based on the shittiest people your industry has to offer?
I dont think ypu would he terribaly happy with what others might have to say
So think before you talk shit online
And never say anything you wouldnt say to someones face you sad keyboard warrior |

The ones who put the scaffolding up for my new UPVC in my old house were ok, cheeky, but ok.
I didn't know they had a bad rep generally.
I have thing for builders so i might have overlooked any bad points as they shimmied the pipes. |

For those asking
I'm a telehandler
And fairly new to it
And still making mistakes and fairly slow
Every other trade are being very thoughtful and not putting me under pressure
Apart from scaffolders
Tutting
Headshaking
Even had a company gaffer on the phone shouting at me about my pace
There you go
Btw
I think domestic scaffolders are more customer facing therefore need to be polite as opposed to commercial
House builds ect |

Don't know but I'm getting really pissed off with workmen! The last 3 people for various jobs have disappeared on me. Why would you go to someone's house quote them for a job agree a price then not reply to a customer after them sending texts asking if the jobs still on. Bloody annoying! |
